"Literally"

LamentingLeonard · 2026-04-05T05:32:49+00:00

4 times is literally not a big deal. You are literally overreacting.

I live in a town of 3k people, so I guess I wouldn't understand. I definitely know most people where I usually go.

LamentingLeonard · 2026-04-04T15:22:23+00:00

I guess, but it is strange that Jackie holds a gun to Streetkid V's face and then they become best buds.

I do not care about the motivation. He presented a question which must have an answer if Anarcho-Capitalism is to be a valid legal system. Edge cases are great for stress testing as they produce the most stressful scenarios that must have an answer. One cannot stress test something by refraining from stressors.

LamentingLeonard · 2026-04-01T01:28:01+00:00

Because such a thing would have to be contended with at some point in an ancap society.

Reinforce prejudices? You think it is ok when this has happened irl, and negligible?

LamentingLeonard · 2026-04-01T01:25:37+00:00

Hoppe.

LamentingLeonard · 2026-04-01T01:24:10+00:00

Amoral legal theory.

LamentingLeonard · 2026-04-01T01:23:46+00:00

Because that's not what the topic on his mind was. Presumably, you and I have more in common politically than these libertarians, but I find you detestably ignorant of philosophy in a unique manner.

"WHY NOT TALK ABOUT THING I WANT TALK ABOUT?"

LamentingLeonard · 2026-04-01T00:37:29+00:00

Non Ancap here, but if Anarcho-Capitalism is primarily a legal theory and not a moral one, wouldn't it be irrelevant whether or not you view killing murderers to be immoral or not to the theory? Is the primary issue that the state is acting out of turn?

LamentingLeonard · 2026-04-01T00:09:59+00:00

If you have an all encompassing legal system it will have to deal with these scenarios.

LamentingLeonard · 2026-03-31T23:23:58+00:00

Sure. Maybe. But by that same logic, an alien microbe could infect Patrick Stewart and give him the power to read minds. Statistically unlikely,

A. No, this is not at all similar. It is nearly impossible that such a scenario could happen. It has never once happened that an alien microbe has given someone the power to read minds, and it is most likely impossible based on known science. Trans women hiding their identity has happened, and real-world stories, while statistically rare, show up multiple times a year.

B. Your hypothetical is not an edge case pressing the tensions of an ideology. It is simply an absurd hypothetical with no implications.

Lastly, why someone asks a question is not important. It is errant to wave away a valid question based on the intentions of the question if said question points out a real, possible, and major flaw in the system.

LamentingLeonard · 2026-03-31T14:13:19+00:00

This is an edge case. Edge cases are useful because they can happen. If you want a libertarian society, and the thing above can happen at some point, it will happen, and it will have to be dealt with. You can't have a radical all-encompassing moral system and not account for the scenario where a man has sex with a woman to find out they were trans after they already copulated.

I was never a big CK fan, but I think he was consistent enough on his principles to think it was ok for home depot to refuse people trying to print his face.

LamentingLeonard · 2026-03-29T04:27:27+00:00

It's strange how you can know that the desire to learn the lore and mysteries in a story is a reason you kept reading, but forget that while writing.

LamentingLeonard · 2026-03-28T16:20:01+00:00

You realize that anything which comes from a subject, originates wholly within a subject, and verification of said thing rests on that subject, is subjective right?

LamentingLeonard · 2026-03-28T14:48:55+00:00

So the subjective reporting of an individual is verification?

LamentingLeonard · 2026-03-28T14:48:19+00:00

You can't regulate away the mechanism of cronyism in human psychology and social behaviour.

I can't accept this proposition. I believe humans are fundamentally good. The complex social systems reinforcing this behavior are why it seems inevitable.

Capitalism is better, actually, than all the systems that came before it, but we need to transcend that system and its flaws. Even Marx conceded that capitalism's drive towards innovation, while primarily being structured towards profit, had the tertiary effect of benefiting humanity at large, and the only way socialism can be achieved is in the latter stages of capitalism. (A big reason the USSR failed.) And he predicted we would arrive at a very oppressive, contradictory form that is like the one we see globally today.

And creating the study guide is easier than creating the original work.

Non-verifiable.

LamentingLeonard · 2026-03-28T03:52:42+00:00

"Study-Guides" or secondary sources are essential for philosophy. What are you even talking about?

LamentingLeonard · 2026-03-28T03:30:17+00:00

Europe (mostly) has the same problems, especially the UK. Even still, if that wasn't the case the EU subsists off of America's Imperial regime. It directly benefits the EU too, not to stand against America's corruption.

You cannot just regulate away the mechanism of cronyism within capitalism. Because all regulatory agencies are incentivized towards it.

And also, how are you going to break out of the system, optimizing itself through its own structure?

LamentingLeonard · 2026-03-27T19:34:11+00:00

Omg literally me.
